Yo! I'm starting at Brooklyn College in the fall and I'm working up a schedule. Science has never really been my strong suit, but I need to take one. What's the easiest science course there?
Hey there! While it's always useful to take into account your interests and strengths, it's also important not to dismiss heavier science subjects just because they might feel more challenging. That said, there are some introductory science courses that are generally seen as more accessible and could adequately fulfill your science requirement.
Check out your school's courses in the Astronomy or Environmental Science departments. These subjects often catch students' interest and are known for their more approachable style. For instance, Intro to Environmental Science will introduce you to key topics combing biology, ecology, and geology but is usually less intensive than other science courses.
When considering any course, make sure you consider the instructor’s teaching style and reviews - it can make a huge difference in your experience. Websites like RateMyProfessors can be useful in this aspect.
Most importantly, though, try to pick a subject that actually interests you! You might surprise yourself, plus it's always easier to put in the work for a class that genuinely piques your interest. Good luck!
